A Land Altar for Sacred Community
Welcome to Balsam Sanctuary
We’re designing a place to reconnect with nature and people who love nature. A place to explore land stewardship and earth care-taking. We are building a movement to live net positive, nurture a food forest, and host gatherings that center the earth as a healer, teacher, and provider to nourish sacred community.
Who
we are
We’re a family. Started by Bay Area native, Founder Natalie Orozco is mobilizing her community to remember their relationship to nature. Through land stewardship, we gather our community for work weekends, workshops, and community content. We are committed to building a sanctuary to pray, live, and grow food in the Oakland Hills. We are on a journey to live in right relationship with the earth on Ohlone lands and we welcome you to join us.
